By the way, I don’t think Scott would call himself a “leading MMT theorist.” He’s not even an economist, but a young media scholar. Here’s a better place to start: Modern Monetary Theory and Practice: An Introductory Text Mitchell, Prof W F; Wray, Prof L R; Watts, Prof M J https://www.abebooks.com/9781530338795/Modern-Monetary-Theory-Practice-Introductory-1530338794/plp Again, if you need a straw man to debunk in order to feel better about your ignorance, you’ll definitely be able to find one. _ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: https://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com

It is filled with more malarkey than I've seen since reading Hardt-Negri's "Empire" 20 years ago: "Supplanting what economist Abba Lerner once termed the myth of world money with an interdependent politics rooted in strong public spending regimes, the MMT Job Guarantee would thus begin to turn neoliberal financial capitalism outside-in and expose the constricting paroxysms of present social production to more congenial and commodious orbits." What a bunch of jive. https://arcade.stanford.edu/content/unheard-center-critique-after-modern-monetary-theory _ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: https://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
